I was looking at stake when i realized they just added poker to the site, it only has freerolls for now but i feel like it's a great step because the community really needs some good poker sites with the right support to avoid collusion and multi accounts.


To register on the freerolls you need to be there 15 min. before the tournament start, and if you don't take your seat 2 minutes after the game starts then you will be kicked from the tournament, so, good luck to all.

I can't wait to see cash tables on the site, for sure is one of the next steps.

I have just registered on Stake not quite long but when I saw your post, I searched for poker on Stake and I saw other ones which are not called Stake Poker. I saw video poker stake originals, video poker live evolution, poker live evolution, three card poker live evolution,Caribbean stud poker live evolution, texas hold'em bonus poker live evolution. If I understood you correctly, you are referring to Stake poker? I do not think Poker is new on Stake.

I'm talking about Texas Hold'em on the site, not a 3rd party game, you can see the game in the next link: https://stake.com/casino/games/poker

The support told me that users need tickets for the tournaments, but i just registered to a freeroll without tickets, maybe the tickets are for some special tournaments, or it's a feature that will be implemented in the future, something like "Win this tournament and get tickets for a bigger one".

The poker games were available before but only for the dot US site, but on the dot com is new, from what i know it wasn't there the past week.

It's like that, totally v.s.v

The advanced configuration of tables, card colors, etc. is quite standard, but it complies, also with all the minimum functions, such as favorite seat, Note, or throwing things at your rival, like GG poker.

Anyway, a respectable Crypto poker Casino appears on the scene.  8)

Isn't it fantastic?There's Stake website currently offering free buy-ins for what appears to be Texas Hold'em poker.I can see nine players at a table,which strongly suggests it's Texas Hold'em.If it's not,they're making a huge mistake because most people prefer playing that variant.It's widely regarded as one of the best and is familiar to many,especially since it's showcased on TV,like on Pokerstars.

I'm definitely signing up for tomorrow's 9 PM tournament.Unfortunately,I just missed today's since I noticed it after 9 PM here.But the good news is,they've indeed chosen Texas Hold'em for the tournament.I can't wait for tomorrow night,I'm feeling confident I'll dominate the competition!  ;D

Yes, the Poker wasn't available on Stake when I visited it a few weeks ago but now they're adding it then it's surely going to be a great place for the ones who love Poker games. I'm personally a fan of poker games and surely I will soon give it a try.

I believe soon they will add the cash based poker tables so we can enjoy poker with other players who also enjoy spending time on poker games. I believe that in poker games luck and strategy both matter, and that's why I believe such games will be beneficial for many players.

All the ones that I mentioned above did not take me to third party site, they are all provided by Stake. But thanks for the information about the free roll which is the main point of this thread. I will try it and see how it is.

Fantastic, finally a familiar crypto gambling site offered poker on their site. On top of that, its Stake we are talking about so I bet there will huge crowd once they fully launch the whole thing

Anyway, is there a way to enlarge the lobby? Idk if this is my browser or what but I cant seems to enlarge it

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/05/22/1WWhq.png

Especially this part, I cant seems to find a way for it to show the whole payout list for me. I need to scroll it manually though. Over 2k people played so 150 places paid and with bottom prize at $1

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/05/22/1W06G.png

2 hours on average until the tournaments ends with top prize at $230 so yeah thats pretty decent start of for a freerolls. I might try one tomorrow and see for myself how good the crowd on Stake is

Just click (Full-screen)

It's on bottom left corner, you can (full-screen) the dashboard or using Theatre mode on there. That's the only feature you can using for at least enlarge the view, however based most of gameplay user.

Poker is always more comfortable using (FULL-SCREEN). Just use those while playing (POKER).

Surprisingly, I thought that they'll never add that. Looking at the current state of the forum about poker, there has been a point of it when there have been no talks to it.

But now, we're starting to see its glory back so they're probably seeing the opportunity to be a leader of this game.

Good luck on whoever gets the sit first for their free rolls.

I've practically begged other crypto sites to add poker when they were successful. They didn't add it and years later they just closed. Also due to other factors but it played a role for sure.

Player vs Player games are an important part of casino culture and the fact that online casinos simply removed this aspect of gambling because simply it didn't make enough profit was a huge mistake because now a handful of sites are stealing a ton kf their traffic. And also finally seals with clubs gets some fair competition.

This forum? You gotta be kidding

This forum is a niche compared to the overall gambling market, heck I doubt that atleast 50% of the people in this gambling sub section actually gamble and we are talking about Stake here. There are tons of their loyal players that will jump onto it even if Ed throw a bone


Not at all, there are far more superior poker site and poker network out there sponsoring huge buy in ranging up to even $200k buy. Im not sure if Stake is going to join these existing poker network or not but we'll see


Hey it actually works ! Im such a dummkopf lol, why didnt I think of it in the first place

they finally added it on their site, I can't wait to try them out when I have the time.

I don't know about you but it was just a matter of time before they added it. also, this forum isn't the only platform they are advertising their casino, you need to remember that they are known globally so not having talks about poker here in the forum does not mean it is not being talked about on other forums/platforms.

I never thought that they are going to add that.

I am talking about that there is not that much talk and discussions about poker anymore and not about stake.

I was describing about the discussions about poker and not entirely stake. It's probably I did said something confusing about that.

Maybe soon, they're already big and they don't have any problem about advertising anymore.

Not true.

Mostly (POKER) are quite complicated, and at least they are add the game right now and good things is based their own software. I give you funfact, stake already deploy the game on (STAKE.US) in a few months ago.
 
We talk about these, the reason why we don't talk to much because the complication about the system or at least game deploy are quite hard. IMO, they need to bough the software from some provider and cannot find out suitable one. If (EVOLUTION) games have these, sure they are gonna to deploy just take a look on stake did. Required them to build the game by their own.

I make more findings to see that Poker has been on Stage ake since last year. I am surprised that most of you people have just started to know about it this year.

You can read about it on this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5453517.msg63128407#msg63128407

Read what Kakmakr posted about it on the last post of page 7:

I am wondering why this kind of thread is locked.

Wow, $1k freerolls is a serious amount of money and they're giving it out to players that will participate the poker tournament right? It's finally a thing with Stake, they've finally got a poker on their website and I'm excited to try it out once they've already finished with implementing the feature.
This was my first thought about Stake and that they're just a staple here in the forum and then I've seen them have their own brand on the octagon and then I came to know for a fact that, whatever they have here, it's a small drop compared to how big they are as a gambling website.

This is different. Stake.us and not stake.com just launched it poker game this year. And it is only available to residents in the US.


You can read about it :https://www.pokertube.com/article/everything-you-need-to-know-about-stake-us-poker-online-poker-for-the-usa


This Video Poker mentioned in this thread should be referring to the one on Stake.com which is available for everyone who is not resident in the US.

I am thinking the OP should have indicated it in the topic to remove this confusion.

You are not getting it right or probably it is more looking confusing for me. According to the OP, he is not from the US or not accessing the poker from Stake.us. You can know that from his second post which he posted this


The OP meant that the game is new on Staked.com.

With the image i posted there shouldn't be any confusion, i mean, it's clear in that image that we are not talking about the video poker, and in the title i mention the freerolls.

Some of the US users are confused too because poker was on their platform from the past year, but for the rest of the world this is totally new.

I already played a couple of freerolls but is hard to get in the money when more than 2500 users are playing it. But i will keep trying, at least is free to try. And after asking to support, looks like any user can join for now, even new users, I'm sure that will change in the future, but now feel free to join.

Im assuming that out of those 2500 players, there might be some that sits out the entire game. Its freerolls so I kinda expect half of the field to be DONKey and will raise-all in most of the time, its going to be a hard field. Anyway so I just need to register 15 minutes before the game start right?

Going to try the next one, Im 'arallmuus' as well there so hit me up if we sit on the same table

Well. This is something I would have expected to inevitably happen when comes to Stakes, there is a good reason it is one of the biggest casinos out there within the cryptocurrency ecosystem, so I knew it was going to be just matter of time before they offered poker as an option for their gamblers.
I have not checked it out yet, by the way, however, if I keep in mind the lawless experiences I have had with the rest of their original games, then we can expect a very good organized and minimalistically decorated tables for anyone who wishes to try their luck against other there.

Looking forward to the community getting engaged in this and also expecting Stake to courage this community to get into big tournaments in the future, once the volume of matches and plays ascends and meets their financial expectations. Very good news for all the poker lovers in the forum.  :P

I wondered if they will also keep some explicit probably fair system in place so those on the table can trust their about not being cheated off their money. Tho

Nice for them, I didn't know a lot of what they did and what they have been doing lately.

It could be one reason why it took them for so long before they've added one. Maybe it's been developed mainly for them so that it won't be developed the way that others have acquired it from the same provider.

Yeah, that is because they have a different domain from different users in other regions.

As you say, lot of donk moves, I would say a big percent of playeras dont know how to play poker there, but they join to the tournament because it is free. But the good players are the ones who win the tournaments.

Yesterday I get in the money for first time, only got $1.5 as price but it was fun, I will keep trying the next week.

Trust me, in this tournament your chance as a "good player" maybe is below 1%. The structure doesn't allow any normal play since this is a hyper turbo format, after less than 1 hour 1 big blind is equal t the starting stack.
When I played this tournament the first time my best had in 40 minutes was 33. Can't win anything with that.
Players in this are so bad, some pay 1 bb (limp) almost every hand even though they just have 5-10 big blinds. This is push or fold, nothing else.
Also the time outs of some players are so annoying. It wastes so much time and they always get a new reconnection time back, it's hilarious.

On my 3rd try I got in the money and also won like 1.25$ or something like that. But if you aren't SUPER lucky in this one you have no chance. All luck, no skill involved in hyper turbos. topped playing these after 3 tries, it's not even fun, just boring.

It's nice to see a resurgence of crypto driven poker, as it was so long ago that we had sealswithclubs - effectively the only site that reached a critical mass where they had enough players online to compete with fiat currency versions of online poker. It really does need one of the top 3 biggest casino and sportbook sites to push this, in order the have the concentrated pre-existing player base that you'll be able to keep enough players on the table with a variety of different bankroll levels. It's surprising that it has taken so long, but I guess the infrastructure required would be huge and it brings with it a unique set of challenges. However stake is advertising in the mainstream a lot and most of these sites allow direct fiat currency deposits these days so it can draw in a wide enough audience too.

Missed it last night, tried it earlier today and yeah ended up not ITM but so far the software they use are basically basic poker software but yeah probably thats how Stake want it to be. Totally cant wait for them to launch regular tournaments, I think overall the fields are kinda soft but thats probably freerolls so Im really excited to play on a paid tournaments once they full roll the whole thing

Yeah I'm a bit shocked seeing the title because usually what I see are lower than this but I see a pic above and realized that $1k is not going into 1 user only but it's the overall prize for the participants lol. I remember there are users here who always look forward in poker tourneys and Stake is among the casino they recommend to do it. Now that it's already there, this must be a dream come true to them.

The feature is already there, implemented. So what are you waiting for? But, you can take your time for now, if you are not ready yet because I'm sure this new feature here can still run for a very long time even though the prizes are huge since like you guys said, Stake is one hell of a huge casino.

As long as they don't fix essential things it will not be a success.
Also, these tournaments won't run forever, this is just a promo phase to first of all try the software under .com conditions. They have already tried it for quite a while on their .us domain and it's still funny the software looks this bad after such a long time.
These tournaments only foreshadow what's to come hopefully.
Players attending these free tournaments are TERRIBLE, and that's still an understatement. 90% have no clue what they are doing so it seems and hopefully soon there will be cash games with these exact same players.

It will be a gold rush situation once this starts.  ;D

I just saw this, maybe I missed it, but it looks interesting to follow, it seems difficult to become a champion there because you have to play with thousands of people, where of course they will also last longer at the table, I think it's a matter of how to survive at the table by playing relaxed so that can advance to the next round, it's rare to find poker freerolls on crypto casino sites and even though they don't provide big prizes like this, it seems that Stake also provides this program for all its users.

I just looked at the link you provided and am still wondering whether this is only for a certain time or is it held every day, if it is held every day of course it would be very good to see active users as well as poker players, I might also try my skills there. I can still play poker and compete, I haven't played for a long time even though I often win playing poker at events like this freerolls, I hope Stake holds this for longer so that other users can actively play poker too, I want to increase the experience of other players too, Looks like I'll get a lot from this event.

You haven't missed it at all, the site still has freerolls all days, 4 tournaments each day, i will keep trying 3 of them each day trying to get in a nice place, but isn't easy when blinds goes high that fast, each 6 minutes it gets to a new level, in my past good tourney the blinds was 8k and 4k before i lose, but ist's about luck and play it smart.

If you try one of those tournaments i wish you good luck.

Totally going to need this, planning to play again tonight

There are no skills involved in this freerolls, its all just luck though and I bet like 90% of the field totally got no clue of what they are doing. Especially with the blind structured to be on turbo mode, this freerolls really requires you to get a good hand once every 5 hands to get decent amount of chip otherwise you probably wont really make it through top 150

Are you playing there with your classic nickname? You don't need to reveal it, a yes or no is enough.

_________________________
I haven't played there since last week, but in my third tournament I already did ITM. The tournaments are still available, $1000 freerolls are actually rare these days in any Casino Cripto (even Fiat), my Freeroll stage passed a long time ago, but I find it fun to be able to give any of you a Badbeat :)
